Hi everyone,
In my previous write-up, I wrote on The Four Steps of Living, in Joshua 1 verse 8. Today, I’ll give examples which would elaborate on the use of these four steps in Joshua 1:8.
The first step focuses on the confession of the Word. Now, it is not just any Word that is confessed, but the Word of God that is confessed as it falls in line with the finished work if Jesus. A man with sickness is expected to confess what the Word of God says concerning his sickness. And he starts to rebuke the sickness by confessing healing scriptures, such as 1 Peter 2:24; Jeremiah 33:6; Psalm 116:8-9, and more.
Then he meditates on these scriptures that he constantly confesses, day and night, which is the second step. He then moves to the third step which is that based on his confession, the Holy Spirit guides his thoughts and way of life, such as his working on his diet, or sleeping pattern, or working on his media habits, and others, all through perseverance by not being distracted by the devil.
He then moves to the final stage, he is strengthened spiritually by faith based on what he has been confessing and meditating, his physical life has a good habit. He then sees the sickness reduce gradually and eventually fade off. All these enabled him to understand that he has the same life as Christ Jesus by being the righteousness of God.
Another person could have financial challenges and would need to go through the four stages of living, in Joshua 1:8.
He would start by confessing the Word of God concerning his financial situation, on scriptures such as Ephesians 1:3; Philippians 4:19; Numbers 23:19-20, and more, which is the first step.
The second step is to for him to meditate on these scriptures day and night, which must be consistent to see the result. And as he does this, the Holy Spirit guides his life, strengthening his spiritually, and through the things he might have not paid attention to, such as how to manage his finance, guiding him on what he was meant to do which would yield income, how to give cheerfully, and more, which is the third step.
The fourth and final step is that through his constant confession, focus, and meditation on the Word of God, he would see his observe his obvious spiritual growth, and how his financial expenses are guided by the Holy Spirit, which would lead him to a debt-free life.
The life of these two persons is just a summary of how your life would change for the better according to how God designed your life to be. It is not what many would call “easier said than done”, it would only be when you don’t try it.
The Lord God has said in many places that we should prove Him if taking our lives according to how He wants it to be [summarised in Joshua 1:8] won’t give us a blessed and fulfilled life. He made us not to suffer, but to enjoy, all you have to do is go through the manual or blueprint He has given us, doing things your way would get you nowhere trust me. Use the four steps of living, in Joshua 1:8, and give that testimony of your transformed life.
May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
